(“Our theatrelet/little theatre”), Pretoria. A proposed theatre for Pretoria, to be devoted to the production of work in [[Afrikaans]], to indulge in experimental work not possible for commercial and professional groups and to be the "home" of [[Ons Teatertjie Toneelgroep]] ("Our little theatre theatre group”), founded in 1935 (renamed [[Volksteater]] in 1936).

The first plans were apparently based on those of the [[Little Theatre]] in Cape Town, suggesting a venue with 192 seats, spacious stage (64x40 feet), 2 dressingrooms, a storage room and the entrance being divided into a coffee room and archive. This was never built. However, [[Volksteater]] did persevere and Die [[Kleinteater]] ("The Little Theatre") was built in Skinner Street in 19**, though now primarily for amateur and educational use.
